The Good: Katherine Heigl. She's a "real" actress in a cast full of overgrown pre-pubescent boys lusting after "boobies." The plot is decent, although way too long. Katherine Heigl is engaging and adorable, and I have to say pretty shocking in some of the seedier scenes. Meg Ryan (a la Sally) has got nothing on Katherine!
The Bad: The male cast. The mere notion that even with the thickest beer goggles Katherine Heigl would wind up in bed with Seth Rogen is just absurd. There are also some plot mistakes. For instance, both Allison (Heigl) and Ben (Rogen) say in one breath that they don't remember anything from the fateful night, yet a moment later they both remember the condom moment perfectly. The movie is also riddled with drug use, as well as the f-bomb that seems to purvey all of Apatow's/Rogen's movies. This is essentially another gutter movie (like Superbad), brought up to perhaps the curb by Heigl. Despite some ultimately decent intentions, it just falls short.
The Summary: Allison goes clubbing with her married sister Debbie, where she meets Ben. He buys them beers and after Debbie winds up leaving, Allison and Ben wind up dancing and getting very drunk. One thing leads to another and, well, Allison is pregnant. She is obviously repulsed at the mere thought that she slept with Ben, and now she is pregnant with his child. They spend most of the rest of the movie getting to know each other (and Ben's obnoxiously disgusting friends). There are a few moments of humor but by and large, this movie falls flat and too long.

This movie was not quite as good as 40-Year Old Virgin, in my eyes, because of too many attempts at slapstick humor. Apatow's films could do with more subtle and clever humor.
However, I do think that this is a good flick to see if you're looking for some goofy humor and have some time on your hands.

Knocked Up is the kind of comedy that's almost pointless. The characters talk, and yet you don't care about anything they say. They try to be funny, and you never laugh. You try to get some kind of interesting story out of what's taking place, and even though you can do it, you wonder if you wasted your time even bothering. That's what Knocked Up is all about.

i read the negative reviews and despite my cynicism (sp?) i say remember. this is a MOVIE about an idealized situation that film viewers might find entertaining and endearing. like , you know, a happy ending? real life doesn't work like this but who cares. i found the movie funny and oddly touching. stoner goof gets lucky and shows his true mettle to a hot, deep chick, who sees his true worth. pure fantasy but wow. IT'S A GODDAMN MOVIE YOU SAPS.
i thought it was great

A solid funny comedy full of sex, lust, jokes and "plenty" of nudity.
Ben is your typical "loser" who meets Alison in a bar. They hook up at her place, have sex and without a condom, enjoy themselves.
She had her job, her looks and other things going for her when she found out that Ben didn't use a condom when she specifically asked him to.
Right before the act, Ben takes the almost-on condom off because there was a misinterpretation between the two, aka a broken message. She gets pregnant and emotional once she finds out.
The characters are funny and many, attractive. The dialogue wasn't too shabby but they swear a lot. Especially the use of the "F-word".
But if it's a comedy you're after that's kinda tacky, sex-wise, then by all means. It's funny, it's somewhat realistic (for once) and the characters are half way decent.
I actually felt something for them.
3.75 stars.
